International audience ; Previous studies conducted on indigenous jewellery from Patagonia have focused on collections from Araucania (Centre-South of Chile), and to a smaller degree on the 19th-century silver production from the Eastern Andean cordillera. This work presents the results obtained from the study of the silver earrings collected by Henry de La Vaulx in Valentín Saygüeque's camp (1830-1903). Saygüeque was a cacique (chief) renowned for the monetary and jewellery treasure he had accumulated prior to his military defeat of 1882, period during which he led a group of mixed huilliche, pehuenche, pampa and tehuelche origins who controlled the "País de las Manzanas" (the Land of Apples) (province of Neuquén, Argentina). The formal, technological and chemical analysis of the collection kept at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris offers a first summary of a geographically and chronologically contextualized silver production, and provides analytical criteria for the dating of native jewellery. ; Los estudios sobre joyería indígena de Patagonia han privilegiado las colecciones procedentes de Araucanía (centro-sur de Chile), considerando en menor escala la producción platera de la vertiente oriental de los Andes en el siglo diecinueve. Este artículo pre-senta los resultados obtenidos del estudio de los aros de plata reunidos en 1896 por Henry de La Vaulx en la toldería del cacique Valentín Saygüeque (1830-1903), famoso por el tesoro monetario y platero acumulado antes de su derrota militar en 1882, cuan-do encabezaba un grupo de orígenes mixtos huilliche, pehuenche, pampa y tehuelche que controlaba el "País de las Manzanas" (provincia de Neuquén, Argentina). El análisis formal, tecnológico y físico-químico de la colección conservada en el Musée du quai Branly de Paris ofrece una primera síntesis sobre una producción platera contextualizada geográfica y cronológicamente, así como criterios analíticos para la datación de la joyería indígena.

Indigenous jewellery studies in Patagonia have favoured collections from Araucania (Central South Chile), taking to a lesser extent Platera production from the eastern part of the Andes in the nineteenth century. This article pre-empts the results obtained from the study of silver rings gathered in 1896 by Henry de La Vaulx in the tolley of the Valentín Saygüeque basket (1830-1903), famous for the monetary and silver treasure accumulated before its military defeat in 1882, where it was headed by a group of mixed origins huilliche, pehuenche, pampa and testriches that controlled the 'País de las Manzanas' (province of Neuquén, Argentina). The formal, technological and physico-chemical analysis of the collection kept in the Musée du quai Branly de Paris provides an initial synthesis of a geographical and chronologically contextualised Platera production, as well as analytical criteria for the data of indigenous jewellery. ; International audience Previous studies conducted on indigenous jewellery from Patagonia have focused on collections from Araucania (Centre-South of Chile), and to a smaller degree on the 19th-century silver production from the Eastern Andean cordillera.

International audience ; "Metals held important symbolic and political values for the indigenous communities of the Caribbean islands. However, metal objects are not abundant in indigenous archaeological sites, and their study has hitherto been very limited. This paper presents the results of the first analytical programme focused on metal artifacts recovered in a range of Taíno sites in Cuba, chronologically covering the periods before and after contact with Europeans. Our aims were: (a) to identify metallurgical traditions related to a diversity of cultural or learning backgrounds; (b) to investigate the origins of different metal artifacts found in Cuba, as a proxy to reconstruct patterns of exchange and interaction among indigenous communities and between these and Europeans; and (c) to approach the meaning and symbolism of different metals by considering their contexts of appropriation and use. The techniques employed included optical microscopy, SEM–EDS, pXRF and PIXE. The results allow a diachronic picture of the procurement, transformation, use and symbolism of metals in Cuba with broader implications for Caribbean archaeology. We reveal culture-specific Taíno choices in their interaction with materials and value systems from continental America and Europe. We also discuss the selective appropriation, recontextualization and meaning of different metals in the indigenous cultures." (source éditeur)
